Tesla cybertruck

I wonder how parts, service, warranty and product support will be handled.
Who handles these things and where are they?

Tweety's, yeah, what's with the height of the truck boxes these days? How is it practical to have that much ground clearance that the box can't be reached into from the sides. My old father has trouble getting into our 3/4 ton Ram. Are they designing them for the young "look at me" crowd?

I have a model 3. You just go into the app on your phone and make a service appointment. Parts can be on the slow side. In bigger areas (Edmonton for example) without a Tesla dealer they have a mobile ranger that comes to wherever you are to do the work.

Remember that the 16 inch ground clearance is at max height on the air suspension. You will be able to lower it 8 inches for better accessibility.

Will the Tesla truck be ready for the electric F150 that will be out in 2021 I think? They made a big deal about the F150 prototype pulling 1 million pounds on rail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXFHgoon7lg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXFHgoon7lg

GM also has an electric truck coming. And a few other competitors.

Its going to be interesting to see which one is worth having and at what price.

Pickups are one of the most profitable segments of the auto industry. I can't believe how much some farmers are willing to spend on luxury trucks that depreciate rapidly.

Big Daddy Tazz is a former Saskatchewan farmboy now a very funny Winnipeg based comedian.

Big Daddy Tazz on why more young people should be farmers:

"Young people should DEFINITELY go into farming; it teaches the value of hard work and self worth. Every year we make no money but still there's always a new truck."

"Farm kids mature faster. By the age of 12, I was driving, it did not make me a child prodigy just the designated driver."

"If young people got into farming, they'd learn to pay more attention! In the city if you stop paying attention, you end up missing your bus, stop paying attention on the farm and you end you missing your pointer finger."

He is hilarious!

Tesla got one thing very right. Stainless steel body.

Fox News article shows retractable ramp, interesting but the “truck” itself does look like it is a recycled Gleaner. Who’s gonna get #1? There are quite a few autonomous BMW’s on the Las Vegas Strip.

Will be interesting to see how the Ford and Chev models turn out .
Will be impressed when I can just plug into any 110 to charge em up.
Or even a 220 welder plug .

120V is just enough to keep batteries warm in winter, no range added. 60 amp welder plug will give about 25miles range per hour of charging.

Can you leave it running in front of the local saloon in -40C?

[bucket]

Right ....the minus 40 issue....has that been solved?
